Abstract
Hsp16.3 plays a vital role in the slow growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis via its chaperone function. Many secretory proteins, including Hsp16.3 undergo acetylation in vivo. Seven lysine (K) residues (K64, K78, K85, K114, K119, K132 and K136) in Hsp16.3 are acetylated inside pathogen. However, how lysine acetylation affects its structure, chaperone function and pathogen's growth is still elusive. We examined these aspects by executing in vitro chemical acetylation (acetic anhydride modification) and by utilizing a lysine acetylation mimic mutant (K64Q/K78Q/K85Q/K114Q/K119Q/K132Q/K136Q). Far- and near-UV CD measurements revealed that the chemically acetylated proteins(s) and acetylation mimic mutant has altered secondary and tertiary structure than unacetylated/wild-type protein. The chemical modification and acetylation mimic mutation also disrupted the oligomeric assembly, increased surface hydrophobicity and reduced stability of Hsp16.3, as revealed by GF-HPLC, 4,4'-dianilino-1,1'-binaphthyl-5,5'-disulfonic acid binding and urea denaturation experiments, respectively. These structural changes collectively led to an enhancement in chaperone function (aggregation and thermal inactivation prevention ability) of Hsp16.3. Moreover, when the H37Rv strain expressed the acetylation mimic mutant protein, its growth was slower in comparison to the strain expressing the wild-type/unacetylated Hsp16.3. Altogether, these findings indicated that lysine acetylation improves the chaperone function of Hsp16.3 which may influence pathogen's growth in host environment.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is a serious cause of infectious death worldwide. Recent studies have reported that about 30% of the Mtb proteome was modified post-translationally, indicating that their functions are essential for drug resistance, mycobacterial survival, and pathogenicity. Among them, lysine acetylation, reversibly regulated by acetyltransferase and deacetylase, has important roles involved in energy metabolism, cellular adaptation, and protein interactions. However, the substrate and biological functions of these two important regulatory enzymes remain unclear. Herein, we utilized the non-pathogenic M. smegmatis strain as a model and systematically investigated the dynamic proteome changes in response to the overexpressing of MsKat/MsCobB in mycobacteria. A total of 4179 proteins and 1236 acetylated sites were identified in our data. Further analysis of the dynamic changes involved in proteome and acetylome showed that MsKat/MsCobB played a regulatory role in various metabolic pathways and nucleic acid processes. After that, the quantitative mass spectrometric method was utilized and proved that the AMP-dependent synthetase, Citrate synthase, ATP-dependent specificity component of the Clp protease, and ATP-dependent DNA/RNA helicases were identified to be the substrates of MsKat. Overall, our study provided an important resource underlying the substrates and functions of the acetylation regulatory enzymes in mycobacteria. SIGNIFICANCE: In this study, we systematically analyzed the dynamic molecular changes in response to the MsKat/MsCobB overexpression in mycobacteria at proteome and lysine acetylation level by using a TMT-based quantitative proteomic approach. Pathways related with glycolysis, degradation of branched chain amino acids, phosphotransferase system were affected after disturbance of the two regulates enzymes involved in lysine acetylation. We also proved that AMP-dependent synthetase Clp protease, ATP-dependent DNA/RNA helicases and citrate synthase was the substrate of MsKat according to our proteomic data and biological validation. Together, our study underlined the substrates and functions of the acetylation regulatory enzymes in mycobacteria.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that Aedes aegypti pyruvate kinase (AaPK) plays a key role in the regulation of both carbon and nitrogen metabolism in mosquitoes. To further elucidate whether AaPK can be post-translationally regulated by Ae. aegypti sirtuin 2 (AaSirt2), an NAD+-dependent deacetylase that catalyzes the removal of acetyl groups from acetylated lysine residues, we conducted a series of analysis in non-starved and starved female mosquitoes. Transcriptional and protein profiles of AaSirt2, analyzed by qPCR and western blots, indicated that the AaSirt2 is differentially modulated in response to sugar or blood feeding in mosquito tissues dissected at different times during the first gonotrophic cycle. We also found that AaSirt2 is localized in both cytosolic and mitochondrial cellular compartments of fat body and thorax. Multiple lysine-acetylated proteins were detected by western blotting in both cellular compartments. Furthermore, western blotting of immunoprecipitated proteins provided evidence that AaPK is lysine-acetylated and bound with AaSirt2 in the cytosolic fractions of fat body and thorax from non-starved and starved females. In correlation with these results, we also discovered that RNAi-mediated knockdown of AaSirt2 in the fat body of starved females significantly decreased AaPK protein abundance. Notably, survivorship of AaSirt2-deficient females maintained under four different nutritional regimens was not significantly affected. Taken together, our data reveal that AaPK is post-translationally regulated by AaSirt2.

Abstract
Inhibitors for epigenetic readers of histone modifications are useful chemical probes to interrogate the functional roles played by their cognate targets in epigenetic regulation and can even serve as drugs for the treatment of diseases associated with the dysregulated targets. However, many epigenetic readers are intractable to small molecules, as the recognition of modified histone peptides commonly involves flat and extended protein surfaces. In contrast, the relatively large sizes and structural complexity of peptides help them achieve tight and specific binding to the target proteins. Increasing efforts have been made to target epigenetic readers using peptide-based inhibitors that can complement small molecules. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the development of peptide-based inhibitors of lysine acetylation and methylation readers.

Abstract
The protein lysine acetylation includes acetyl-CoA (AcCoA) or acetyl phosphate (AcP)-mediated nonenzymatic acetylation, and enzymatic acetylation. It is widespread in the proteomes but the acetylation levels of most sites are very low. A thorough understanding of the determinants of low acetylation levels is highly important for elucidating the physiological relevance of lysine acetylation. In this study, we constructed a non-native substrate library containing 24 synthesized polypeptides, and we showed that ATP could inhibit the AcCoA-mediated nonenzymatic acetylation of these polypeptides through LC-MS/MS analysis. The acetyltransferase PatZ could acetylated these non-native substrates, and the PatZ-catalyzed acetylation of the polypeptides was also inhibited by ATP. Furthermore, the Western blot showed that ATP also inhibited the nonenzymatic (AcCoA or AcP-mediated) and enzymatic (PatZ-catalyzed) acetylation of acetyl-CoA synthetase Acs, which is a native substrate for acetylation. ATP can also inhibit the autoacetylation of acetyltransferase PatZ. Besides, both ADP and AMP could enhance the AcP-mediated acetylation of Acs, but ADP slightly inhibited the AcCoA-mediated acetylation of Acs. However, both ADP and AMP had no evident inhibition on the PatZ-catalyzed acetylation of Acs. Based on these results, we proposed that ATP can act as an inhibitor of acetylation, and it may regulate the function of PatZ by inhibiting its autoacetylation and compensate for the function of deacetylase CobB.

Abstract
The impact of Lys28 acetylation on Alzheimer's Aβ peptide binding to the lipid bilayer has not been previously studied, either experimentally or computationally. To probe this common post-translational modification, we performed all-atom replica exchange molecular dynamics simulations targeting binding and aggregation of acetylated acAβ25-35 peptide within the DMPC bilayer. Using the unmodified Aβ25-35 studied previously as a reference, our results can be summarized as follows. First, Lys28 acetylation strengthens the Aβ25-35 hydrophobic moment and consequently promotes the helical structure across the peptide extending it into the N-terminus. Second, because Lys28 acetylation disrupts electrostatic contact between Lys28 and lipid phosphate groups, it reduces the binding affinity of acAβ25-35 peptides to the DMPC bilayer. Accordingly, although acetylation preserves the bimodal binding featuring a preferred inserted state and a less probable surface bound state, it decreases the stability of the former. Third, acetylation promotes acAβ25-35 aggregation and eliminates monomers as thermodynamically viable species. More importantly, acAβ25-35 retains as the most thermodynamically stable the inserted dimer with unique head-to-tail helical aggregation interface. However, due to enhanced helix structure, this dimer state becomes less stable and is less likely to propagate into higher order aggregates. Thus, acetylation is predicted to facilitate the formation of low-molecular-weight oligomers. Other post-translational modifications, including phosphorylation and oxidation, reduce helical propensity and have divergent impact on aggregation. Consequently, acetylation, when considered in its totality, has distinct consequences on Aβ25-35 binding and aggregation in the lipid bilayer.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a common posttranslational modification that regulates numerous biochemical functions in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic species. In addition, several new non-acetyl acylations are structurally different from lysine acetylation and participate in diverse physiological functions. Here, a comprehensive analysis of several lysine acylomes was performed by combining the high-affinity antibody enrichment with high-resolution LC-MS/MS. In total, we identified 2536 lysine acetylated sites, 4723 propionylated sites, 2150 succinylated sites and 3001 malonylated sites in Bacillus subtilis, respectively. These acylated proteins account for 35.8% of total protein in this bacterium. The four lysine acylomes showed a motif preference for glutamate surrounding the modified lysine residues, and a functional preference for several metabolic pathways, such as carbon metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and ribosome. In addition, more protein-protein interaction clusters were identified in the propionylated substrates than other three lysine acylomes. In summary, our study presents a global landscape of acylation in the Gram-positive model organism Bacillus and their potential functions in metabolism and physiology.

Abstract
Lysine-ε-acetylation (Kac) is a reversible post-translational modification that plays important roles during plant-pathogen interactions. Some pathogens can deliver secreted effectors encoding acetyltransferases or deacetylases into host cell to directly modify acetylation of host proteins. However, the function of these acetylated host proteins in plant-pathogen defense remains to be determined. Employing high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, we analyzed protein abundance and lysine acetylation changes in maize infected with Puccinia polysora (P. polysora) at 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. A total of 7412 Kac sites from 4697 proteins were identified, and 1732 Kac sites from 1006 proteins were quantified. Analyzed the features of lysine acetylation, we found that Kac is ubiquitous in cellular compartments and preferentially targets lysine residues in the -F/W/Y-X-X-K (ac)-N/S/T/P/Y/G- motif of the protein, this Kac motif contained proteins enriched in basic metabolism and defense-associated pathways during fungal infection. Further analysis of acetylproteomics data indicated that maize regulates cellular processes in response to P. polysora infection by altering Kac levels of histones and non-histones. In addition, acetylation of pathogen defense-related proteins presented converse patterns in signaling transduction, defense response, cell wall fortification, ROS scavenging, redox reaction and proteostasis. Our results provide informative resources for studying protein acetylation in plant-pathogen interactions, not only greatly extending the understanding on the roles of acetylation in vivo, but also providing a comprehensive dynamic pattern of Kac modifications in the process of plant immune response.

Abstract
The adult hippocampal neurogenesis plays a vital role in the function of the central nervous system (CNS), including memory consolidation, cognitive flexibility, emotional function, and social behavior. The deficiency of adult neural stem cells (aNSCs) in maintaining the quiescence and entering cell cycle, self-renewal and differentiation capacity is detrimental to the functional integrity of neurons and cognition of the adult brain. Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and histone deacetylase (HDAC) have been shown to modulate brain functionality and are important for embryonic neurogenesis via regulation of gene transcription. We showed previously that Trrap, an adapter for several HAT complexes, is required for Sp1 transcriptional control of the microtubule dynamics in neuronal cells. Here, we find that Trrap deletion compromises self-renewal and differentiation of aNSCs in mice and in cultures. We find that the acetylation status of lysine residues K16, K19, K703 and K639 all fail to overcome Trrap-deficiency-incurred instability of Sp1, indicating a scaffold role of Trrap. Interestingly, the deacetylation of Sp1 at K639 and K703 greatly increases Sp1 binding to the promoter of target genes, which antagonizes Trrap binding, and thereby elevates Sp1 activity. However, only deacetylated K639 is refractory to Trrap deficiency and corrects the differentiation defects of Trrap-deleted aNSCs. We demonstrate that the acetylation pattern at K639 by HATs dictates the role of Sp1 in the regulation of adult neurogenesis.

Abstract
Lipotoxicity and unresolved oxidative stress are key drivers of metabolic inflammation in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). cAMP-response element binding protein H(CREBH) is a liver-specific transcription factor and regulates the glucose and lipid metabolism of NASH. However, its role in mitochondrial oxidative stress and its association with sirtuin 3 (SIRT3), a master regulator of deacetylation for mitochondrial proteins, remains elusive. In this study, AML-12 cells were treated with palmitic acid to imitate the pathological changes of NASH in vitro and 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were fed with a high-fat (HF) diet or a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet to build the widely accepted in vivo model of NASH. We found that lipid overload induced mitochondrial oxidative stress and stimulated the expression of CREBH and SIRT3. CREBH overexpression alleviated the mitochondrial oxidative stress. Moreover, CREBH promoted SIRT3 expression, which regulated the deacetylation of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and inhibited NOD-Like Receptor Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (Nlrp3) inflammasome activation whereas suppression of SIRT3 damaged the protecting ability of CREBH in mitochondrial oxidative stress. CREBH knockout mice were highly susceptible to HF and MCD diet-induced NASH with more severe oxidative stress. Collectively, our results firstly provided the support that CREBH could serve as a protective factor in the progression of NASH by regulating the acetylation of MnSOD and the activation of Nlrp3 inflammasome through SIRT3. These results suggest that CREBH might be a valuable therapeutic candidate for NASH.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effect of cAMP response element-binding protein H (CREBH) on metabolic associated fatty liver disease by regulating sirtuin 3 (SIRT3). MAIN METHODS Two mouse models of fatty liver induced by a methionine-choline deficient (MCD) diet and a high-fat (HF) diet and an in vitro model of palmitic acid (PA) induced lipid-overloaded hepatocytes were constructed to detect the expression of CREBH, SIRT3, total acetylation, and downstream protein interactions and lipid metabolism phenotype, which were further validated in CREBH-/- mice and lentivirus-overexpressing CREBH hepatocytes. KEY FINDINGS In fatty liver and lipid overload models, the expressions of CREBH and SIRT3 were down-regulated and their expression was positively correlated, accompanied by an increase in the level of total protein acetylation. Overexpression of CREBH alleviated excess lipid accumulation, impaired viability, and the ability to metabolize energy through the fatty acid oxidation pathway in hepatocytes in vitro. Furthermore, overexpression of CREBH restored the interaction of the deacetylase SIRT3 with the molecules carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 2 (CPT2) and long-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase (ACADL) involved in the fatty acid oxidation pathway and their deacetylation status. However, CREBH-/- aggravated the damage of lipid metabolism in the liver tissue of mice. SIGNIFICANCE CREBH increased the enzymatic activity of downstream factors by positively regulating the expression of SIRT3, which promoted the oxidative decomposition of fatty acids in hepatocytes and played an important role in fatty acid oxidation in MAFLD.

Abstract
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase 1 catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, the committed step of de novo fatty acid synthesis. As a master regulator of lipid synthesis, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 has been proposed to be a therapeutic target for numerous metabolic diseases. We have shown that acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity is reduced in the absence of the lysine acetyltransferase NuA4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This change in acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity is correlated with a change in localization. In wild-type cells, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 is localized throughout the cytoplasm in small punctate and rod-like structures. However, in NuA4 mutants, acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization becomes diffuse. To uncover mechanisms regulating acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization, we performed a microscopy screen to identify other deletion mutants that impact acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization and then measured acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity in these mutants through chemical genetics and biochemical assays. Three phenotypes were identified. Mutants with hyper-active acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 form 1 or 2 rod-like structures centrally within the cytoplasm, mutants with mid-low acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity displayed diffuse acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, while the mutants with the lowest acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity (hypomorphs) formed thick rod-like acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 structures at the periphery of the cell. All the acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 hypomorphic mutants were implicated in sphingolipid metabolism or very long-chain fatty acid elongation and in common, their deletion causes an accumulation of palmitoyl-CoA. Through exogenous lipid treatments, enzyme inhibitors, and genetics, we determined that increasing palmitoyl-CoA levels inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 activity and remodels acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 localization. Together this study suggests yeast cells have developed a dynamic feed-back mechanism in which downstream products of acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 can fine-tune the rate of fatty acid synthesis.

Abstract
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a vital driver of tumor progression. It is a well-known and complex trans-differentiation process in which epithelial cells undergo morphogenetic changes with loss of apical-basal polarity, but acquire spindle-shaped mesenchymal phenotypes. Lysine acetylation is a type of protein modification that favors reversibly altering the structure and function of target molecules via the modulation of lysine acetyltransferases (KATs), as well as lysine deacetylases (KDACs). To date, research has found that histones and non-histone proteins can be acetylated to facilitate EMT. Interestingly, histone acetylation is a type of epigenetic regulation that is capable of modulating the acetylation levels of distinct histones at the promoters of EMT-related markers, EMT-inducing transcription factors (EMT-TFs), and EMT-related long non-coding RNAs to control EMT. However, non-histone acetylation is a post-translational modification, and its effect on EMT mainly relies on modulating the acetylation of EMT marker proteins, EMT-TFs, and EMT-related signal transduction molecules. In addition, several inhibitors against KATs and KDACs have been developed, some of which can suppress the development of different cancers by targeting EMT. In this review, we discuss the complex biological roles and molecular mechanisms underlying histone acetylation and non-histone protein acetylation in the control of EMT, highlighting lysine acetylation as potential strategy for the treatment of cancer through the regulation of EMT.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation (Kac) on histone promotes relaxation of the chromatin conformation and favors gene transcription to regulate oncogenesis, whereas the total acetylation profiling of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is unknown. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was utilised to investigate lysine acetylation features of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues from 9 patients with OCSS. 282 upregulated Kac sites in 234 proteins and 235 downregulated Kac sites in 162 proteins between OSCC tissues and paired adjacent normal tissues were identified. Different acetylation proteins (DAPs) were analyzed through KEGG-based and MCODE. These DAPs are enriched in the ribosome biogenesis pathway. Survival Analysis of hub genes with TCGA database was performed. In addition, IPA software was used to explore the connection between 9 core DAPs (RPS3, RPL24, RPL19, EIF4A2, RPL12, MYBPC1, RPS6, ARCN1, and TMEM9) and the different expression of KATs and KDACs identified in our proteomic. The study is the first comparative study of Kac modification on oral squamous cell carcinoma. We propose to put forward the hypothesis that the dysfunction of ribosome biogenesis caused by the change of Lysine acetylation, especially downregulated acetylation on RPS6 and RPS3 may associated with the pathogenesis of OSCC.

Abstract
Background Advanced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) accelerates vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) dysfunction which contributes to the development of vasculopathy, associated with the highest degree of morbidity of T2DM. Lysine acetylation, a post-translational modification (PTM), has been associated with metabolic diseases and its complications. Whether levels of global lysine acetylation are altered in vasculature from advanced T2DM remains undetermined. We hypothesized that VSMC undergoes dysregulation in advanced T2DM which is associated with vascular hyperacetylation. Methods Aged male Goto Kakizaki (GK) rats, a non-obese murine model of T2DM, and age-matched male Wistar rats (control group) were used in this study. Thoracic aortas were isolated and examined for measurement of global levels of lysine acetylation, and vascular reactivity studies were conducted using a wire myograph. Direct arterial blood pressure was assessed by carotid catheterization. Cultured human VSMCs were used to investigate whether lysine acetylation participates in high glucose-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), a crucial factor triggering diabetic vascular dysfunction. Results The GK rats exhibited marked glucose intolerance as well as insulin resistance. Cardiovascular complications in GK rats were confirmed by elevated arterial blood pressure and reduced VSMC-dependent vasorelaxation. These complications were correlated with high levels of vascular global lysine acetylation. Human VSMC cultures incubated under high glucose conditions displayed elevated ROS levels and increased global lysine acetylation. Inhibition of hyperacetylation by garcinol, a lysine acetyltransferase and p300/CBP association factor (PCAF) inhibitor, reduced high glucose-induced ROS production in VSMC. Conclusion This study provides evidence that vascular hyperacetylation is associated with VSMC dysfunction in advanced T2DM. Understanding lysine acetylation regulation in blood vessels from diabetics may provide insight into the mechanisms of diabetic vascular dysfunction, and opportunities for novel therapeutic approaches to treat diabetic vascular complications.

Abstract
Arsenic (As), a widespread environmental contaminant, can induce serious male reproductive injury; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Multi-omics analyses, including transcriptome, proteome, and phosphoproteome could promote our understanding of As-induced male reproductive toxicity. Here, we established the reproductive injured mice model by intraperitoneal injection of NaAsO2 (8 mg/kg body weight), which was validated by reduced reproductive cells, sperm motility, and litter size. The followed multi-omics analyses of mice revealed that As exposure inhibited ATP production by decreasing the expression of proteins HK1, and GAPDHS, and the enzymatic activities of PDH and SDH. The inhibition of mitochondrial activity and increase in HDAC2 and MTA3 dysregulated the lysine acetylation levels of histone and global proteins. Specifically, the downregulated histones H4K5ac and H4K12ac and upregulated histone H3K9ac disordered the distribution of TP1 to interfere with spermatogenesis. Moreover, As could reduce the expression of COL1A1, RAB13, and LSR to disrupt the junctions between seminiferous tubules, and thereinto, the inhibition of RAB13 increased PKA-dependent phosphorylation. Our study reveals that As causes male reproductive toxicity through decreasing energy production, altering histone acetylation, and impairing cell junctions. Our findings provide basic data for further studies on As reproductive toxicity.

Abstract
Lysine-ε-acetylation (Kac) is a post-translational modification (PTM) that is critical for metabolic regulation and cell signaling in mammals. However, its prevalence and importance in plants remain to be determined. Employing high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry, we analyzed protein lysine acetylation in five representative Arabidopsis organs with 2 ~ 3 biological replicates per organ. A total of 2887 Kac proteins and 5929 Kac sites were identified. This comprehensive catalog allows us to analyze proteome-wide features of lysine acetylation. We found that Kac proteins tend to be more uniformly expressed in different organs, and the acetylation status exhibits little correlation with the gene expression level, indicating that acetylation is unlikely caused by stochastic processes. Kac preferentially targets evolutionarily conserved proteins and lysine residues, but only a small percentage of Kac proteins are orthologous between rat and Arabidopsis. A large portion of Kac proteins overlap with proteins modified by other PTMs including ubiquitination, SUMOylation and phosphorylation. Although acetylation, ubiquitination and SUMOylation all modify lysine residues, our analyses show that they rarely target the same sites. In addition, we found that "reader" proteins for acetylation and phosphorylation, i.e., bromodomain-containing proteins and GRF (General Regulatory Factor)/14-3-3 proteins, are intensively modified by the two PTMs, suggesting that they are main crosstalk nodes between acetylation and phosphorylation signaling. Analyses of GRF6/14-3-3λ reveal that the Kac level of GRF6 is decreased under alkaline stress, suggesting that acetylation represses plant alkaline response. Indeed, K56ac of GRF6 inhibits its binding to and subsequent activation of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase AHA2, leading to hypersensitivity to alkaline stress. These results provide valuable resources for protein acetylation studies in plants and reveal that protein acetylation suppresses phosphorylation output by acetylating GRF/14-3-3 proteins.

Abstract
Lysine acetylation is a widespread posttranslational modification (PTM) in all kingdoms of live. A large number of proteins involved in most of biological pathways are targets of this PTM. The lysine acetylation is a reversible modification controlled by two main groups of enzymes, lysine acetyltransferases responsible for transferring the acetyl group of acetylCoA to the side chain of lysine residues and lysine deacetylases which effectively remove the acetyl tag. Dysregulation of enzymes that control acetylation and/or target proteins have been associated with a growing number of human pathologies. Lysine acetylation is largely a modification that occurs at low stoichiometry at its target sites. Here we describe a method to identify lysine acetylation sites and estimate their site occupancy at the proteome scale. The method relies on a high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach, which includes a specific chemical acetylation reaction on unmodified lysine residues that carry heavy isotopes. The procedures described here have been applied to cell line cultures and to clinically relevant samples stored as both snap-frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Lysine acetylation is a reversible post-translational modification (PTM) regulated through the action of specific types of enzymes: lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (HDACs), in addition to bromodomains, which are a group of conserved domains which identify acetylated lysine residues, several of the players in the process of protein acetylation, including enzymes and bromodomain-containing proteins, have been related to the progression of several diseases. The combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry-based proteomics, and immunoprecipitation to enrich acetylated peptides has contributed in recent years to expand the knowledge about this PTM described initially in histones and nuclear proteins, and is currently reported in more than 5000 human proteins, that are regulated by this PTM. AREAS COVERED This review presents an overview of the main participant elements, the scenario in the development of protein lysine acetylation, and its role in different human pathologies. EXPERT OPINION Acetylation targets are practically all cellular processes in eukaryotes and prokaryotes organisms. Consequently, this modification has been linked to many pathologies like cancer, viral infection, obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular, and nervous system-associated diseases, to mention a few relevant examples. Accordingly, some intermediate mediators in the acetylation process have been projected as therapeutic targets.

Abstract
The present study aims to develop a bioluminescence Cronobacter muytjensii (C. muytjensii) infection animal model for use to evaluate the spatiotemporal acetylation and cytokine levels of brain. Frist, we cultured a luciferase expressing C. muytjensii that could be used for real-time monitoring in BALB/c mice. Then we performed a comparative acetylation analysis and cytokine levels analysis of the host's brain tissue. Further bioinformatic analysis studies have revealed that that some key acetylation proteins and inflammatory mediators involve in C. muytjensii infection. In this paper, the integration of bioluminescence imaging with Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) based proteomics and quantitative analysis cytokine levels provide a systems-level understanding of infected brain response caused by C. muytjensii.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on acetylation modification and its modification sites will be of great significance for revealing the mechanism of disease and developing new targeted medicines. In this study, we aim to construct a complete atlas of acetylome in the DSS-induced ulcerative colitis mice model (UC model) METHODS: A high-resolution mass spectrometry-based quantitative approach was employed to identify lysine-acetylated proteins and acetylation sites. Bioinformatics analysis and in vitro experiments verified anti-inflammatory effects of HSP90B1-K142ac. RESULTS 2597 acetylation events and 1914 sites were quantified, highlighting 140 acetylation site changes in the colitis colon tissue. 91 acetylation sites in 75 proteins were up-regulated, and 49 acetylation sites in 39 proteins were down-regulated in the UC models. The differentially acetylated proteins mainly consisted of non-histone proteins located in the cytoplasm and mitochondria. KEGG and protein-protein interaction networks analysis showed that the differentially acetylated proteins were enriched in the TCA cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum. 68% of the differentially metabolized enzymes have a down-regulated trend in acetylation levels. The acetylation level of lysine 142 in HSP90B1 was found to be obvious in the UC colon, and point mutation of HSP90B1-K142ac would result in the decreasing secretion of TNF-α and IL-2 in LPS-stimulated cultured cells. CONCLUSION Our work built a complete atlas of acetylome and revealed the potential role of metabolic enzymes and heat shock proteins in DSS-induced colitis.

Abstract
Evidence suggests acetylation of human adenine nucleotide translocase 1 (ANT1) at lysine 23 (Lys23) reduces binding of ADP. Lys23 contributes to the positive charge that facilitates this interaction. This study was undertaken to characterize ANT1 abundance and acetylation by a novel method using small amounts of human skeletal muscle biopsies. Lysates of whole muscle or mitochondria from the same tissue were prepared from needle biopsies of vastus lateralis muscle of healthy volunteers. Lysed proteins were resolved on gels, the section containing ANT1 (surrounding 30 Kd) was excised, digested with trypsin, spiked with labeled unacetylated and acetylated synthetic standard peptides and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Natural logarithm transformation of data linearized ion intensities over a 10-fold range of peptide mass. Coefficients of variation ranged from 7 to 30% for ANT1 abundance and Lys23 acetylation. In three volunteers, ANT1 content was 8.36 ± 0.33 nmol/g wet weight muscle and 0.64 ± 0.05 nmol/mg mitochondria, so mitochondrial content was 13.3 ± 2.4 mg mitochondria per gram muscle. Acetylation of Lys23 averaged 14.3 ± 4.2% and 4.87 ± 1.84% in whole muscle and mitochondria, respectively. This assay makes it possible to assess effects of acetylation on the function of ANT1 in human muscle.

Abstract
Reversible acylation of lysine ε-amino groups, e.g., acetylation, succinylation, maronylation, and myristoylation, is involved in basic physiological processes such as metabolism, cell signaling and aging. In this study, we developed a novel enrichment method for acylated peptides without the use of antibodies, in which endogenously acylated peptides are deacylated by recombinant lysine deacylases based on the enzyme-substrate relationship and enriched by N-hydroxysuccinimidyl chemistry for identification of the acylated sites by nanoscale liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric analysis. To demonstrate the validity of this acylomics platform, we used it to identify acylated sites on chemically acylated model protein samples. We also applied it to the nuclei of HeLa cells to identify endogenous acylated sites.

Abstract
Multiple reports over the past 2 years have provided the first complete structural analyses for the essential yeast chromatin remodeler, RSC, providing elaborate molecular details for its engagement with the nucleosome. However, there still remain gaps in resolution, particularly within the many RSC subunits that harbor histone binding domains. Solving contacts at these interfaces is crucial because they are regulated by posttranslational modifications that control remodeler binding modes and function. Modifications are dynamic in nature often corresponding to transcriptional activation states and cell cycle stage, highlighting not only a need for enriched spatial resolution but also temporal understanding of remodeler engagement with the nucleosome. Our recent work sheds light on some of those gaps by exploring the binding interface between the RSC catalytic motor protein, Sth1, and the nucleosome, in the living nucleus. Using genetically encoded photo-activatable amino acids incorporated into histones of living yeast we are able to monitor the nucleosomal binding of RSC, emphasizing the regulatory roles of histone modifications in a spatiotemporal manner. We observe that RSC prefers to bind H2B SUMOylated nucleosomes in vivo and interacts with neighboring nucleosomes via H3K14ac. Additionally, we establish that RSC is constitutively bound to the nucleosome and is not ejected during mitotic chromatin compaction but alters its binding mode as it progresses through the cell cycle. Our data offer a renewed perspective on RSC mechanics under true physiological conditions.

Abstract
Changes in the acetylation status of mitochondrial proteins have been linked to the development of metabolic dysfunction in a number of tissues. Increased lysine acetylation has been reported in the hearts of obese mice, and is associated with changes in fuel metabolism, redox status, and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. In this study, we examined whether diet-induced changes in the acetylation of mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenases affected fatty acid oxidation enzyme activity and contractile function in the obese mouse heart. Exposure to a long-term high fat diet in wildtype mice led to the hyperacetylation of short- and long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases SCAD and LCAD, which correlated with their increased enzymatic activity in vitro. Cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of the mitochondrial acetyltransferase-related protein GCN5L1 prevented both the hyperacetylation and increased activity of these enzymes under the same conditions of dietary excess. Despite the potential for increased cardiac fatty acid oxidation activity, wildtype mice did not display any increase in cardiac contractility following exposure to a high fat diet. We conclude that the potential energetic benefits of elevated fatty acid oxidation activity are not sufficient to counter the various deleterious effects of a high fat diet on cardiac function.

Abstract
The prevention and treatment of malaria requires a multi-pronged approach, including the development of drugs that have novel modes of action. Histone deacetylases (HDACs), enzymes involved in post-translational protein modification, are potential new drug targets for malaria. However, the lack of recombinant P. falciparum HDACs and suitable activity assays, has made the investigation of compounds designed to target these enzymes challenging. Current approaches are indirect and include assessing total deacetylase activity and protein hyperacetylation via Western blot. These approaches either do not allow differential compound effects to be determined or suffer from low throughput. Here we investigated dot blot and ELISA methods as new, higher throughput assays to detect histone lysine acetylation changes in P. falciparum parasites. As the ELISA method was found to be superior to the dot blot assay using the control HDAC inhibitor vorinostat, it was used to evaluate the histone H3 and H4 lysine acetylation changes mediated by a panel of six HDAC inhibitors that were shown to inhibit P. falciparum deacetylase activity. Vorinostat, panobinostat, trichostatin A, romidepsin and entinostat all caused an ~3-fold increase in histone H4 acetylation using a tetra-acetyl lysine antibody. Tubastatin A, the only human HDAC6-specific inhibitor tested, also caused H4 hyperacetylation, but to a lesser extent than the other compounds. Further investigation revealed that all compounds, except tubastatin A, caused hyperacetylation of the individual N-terminal H4 lysines 5, 8, 12 and 16. These data indicate that tubastatin A impacts P. falciparum H4 acetylation differently to the other HDAC inhibitors tested. In contrast, all compounds caused hyperacetylation of histone H3. In summary, the ELISA developed in this study provides a higher throughput approach to assessing differential effects of antiplasmodial compounds on histone acetylation levels and is therefore a useful new tool in the investigation of HDAC inhibitors for malaria. P. falciparum histone lysine acetylation was compared using dot blot and ELISA. ELISA was more reproducible than dot blot in acetylation assays. ELISA was used to assess acetylation changes induced by anti-cancer HDAC inhibitors. Tubastatin A showed a different histone H4 acetylation profile to other compounds. This new method will facilitate the study of HDAC inhibitors for malaria.

Abstract
Efficient artificial insemination (AI) with liquid preserved boar semen is essential for the swine industry. Glucose is the most widely utilized energy source in refrigerated boar semen extenders. However, the relationship between glucose concentration and spermatozoa quality is not fully understood. In the present study, boar spermatozoa were used as a model to investigate the impact of different glucose concentrations on spermatozoa motility, mitochondrial activity, and acrosome integrity at physiological temperature (37 °C) and during refrigeration (17 °C). The proportion of progressively motile spermatozoa and mitochondrial activity in the high glucose group were significantly lower than in the low glucose group when incubated at 37 °C for 3 h or 17 °C for 3 d, but not at 17 °C for 7 d. Lysine acetylation is a reversible post-translational modification that plays a crucial role in spermatozoa function. Our results show that spermatozoa protein acetylation levels were higher in the high glucose group than in the low glucose group. The proportions of progressively motile and acrosome-intact spermatozoa were higher in acetyltransferase inhibitor (WM-1119)-treated spermatozoa than in the control. Spermatozoa acetyl-CoA concentration, which is directly linked to acetylation, was significantly higher in the high glucose group than in the low glucose group. Taken together, spermatozoa motility and acrosome integrity can be altered by changing the concentration of glucose in the extender. High glucose concentration-induced lysine acetylation participates in the regulation of boar spermatozoa motility and acrosome integrity during preservation. These results can provide insights into spermatozoa preservation and AI in the swine industry.

Abstract
PIF1 family helicases are evolutionarily conserved among prokaryotes and eukaryotes. These enzymes function to support genome integrity by participating in multiple DNA transactions that can be broadly grouped into DNA replication, DNA repair, and telomere maintenance roles. However, the levels of PIF1 activity in cells must be carefully controlled, as Pif1 over-expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is toxic, and knockdown or over-expression of human PIF1 (hPIF1) supports cancer cell growth. This suggests that PIF1 family helicases must be subject to tight regulation in vivo to direct their activities to where and when they are needed, as well as to maintain those activities at proper homeostatic levels. Previous work shows that C-terminal phosphorylation of S. cerevisiae Pif1 regulates its telomere maintenance activity, and we recently identified that Pif1 is also regulated by lysine acetylation. The over-expression toxicity of Pif1 was exacerbated in cells lacking the Rpd3 lysine deacetylase, but mutation of the NuA4 lysine acetyltransferase subunit Esa1 ameliorated this toxicity. Using recombinant proteins, we found that acetylation stimulated the DNA binding affinity, ATPase activity, and DNA unwinding activities of Pif1. All three domains of the helicase were targets of acetylation in vitro, and multiple lines of evidence suggest that acetylation drives a conformational change in the N-terminal domain of Pif1 that impacts this stimulation. It is currently unclear what triggers lysine acetylation of Pif1 and how this modification impacts the many in vivo functions of the helicase, but future work promises to shed light on how this protein is tightly regulated within the cell.

Abstract
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite capable of infecting a large number of warm-blooded animals and causes serious health complications in immunocompromised patients. T. gondii infection of the feline small intestine is critical for the completion of the life cycle and transmission of T. gondii. Protein acetylation is an important posttranslational modification, which plays roles in the regulation of various cellular processes. Therefore, understanding of how T. gondii reprograms the protein acetylation status of feline definitive host can help to thwart the production and spread of T. gondii. Here, we used affinity enrichment and high-resolution liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry to profile the alterations of the acetylome in cat small intestine 10 days after infection by T. gondii Prugniuad (Pru) strain. Our analysis showed that T. gondii induced significant changes in the acetylation of proteins in the cat intestine. We identified 2606 unique lysine acetylation sites in 1357 acetylated proteins. The levels of 334 acetylated peptides were downregulated, while the levels of 82 acetylated peptides were increased in the infected small intestine. The proteins with differentially acetylated peptides were particularly enriched in the bioenergetics-related processes, such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and oxidation-reduction. These results provide the first baseline of the global acetylome of feline small intestine following T. gondii infection and should facilitate further analysis of the role of acetylated protein in the pathogenesis of T. gondii infection in its definitive host.

Abstract
The homeostasis of mitochondrial functional state is intimately in relation with SIRT3 (sirtuin3). SIRT3, the deacetylase mainly anchored in mitochondria, acts as a modulator of metabolic regulation via manipulating the activity and function of downstream targets at post-translational modification levels. The features of energy sensing and ADP-ribose transference of SIRT3 have also been reported. Recently, accumulating SIRT3-focusing evidences have suggested its complicated role in a series of adverse events such as metabolic disorders, aging-related diseases, coupled with tumors, in which SIRT3 regulates the progress of corresponding biochemical reactions by targeting key mediators. By systematically summarizing the downstream deacetylated proteins of the SIRT3 axis, this review aims to give a comprehensive introduction to the main metabolic pathways and diseases of the molecules involved in acetylation modification, which is expected to provide a direction for further exploration of the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of the above diseases.

Abstract
Reversible lysine acetylation of histones is a key epigenetic regulatory process controlling gene expression. Reversible histone acetylation is mediated by two opposing enzyme families: histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). Moreover, many non-histone targets of HATs and HDACs are known, suggesting a crucial role for lysine acetylation as a posttranslational modification on the cellular proteome and protein function far beyond chromatin-mediated gene regulation. The HDAC family consists of 18 members and pan-HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) are clinically used for the treatment of certain types of cancer. HDACi or individual HDAC member-deficient (cell lineage-specific) mice have also been tested in a large number of preclinical mouse models for several autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases and in most cases HDACi treatment results in an attenuation of clinical disease severity. A reduction of disease severity has also been observed in mice lacking certain HDAC members. This indicates a high therapeutic potential of isoform-selective HDACi for immune-mediated diseases. Isoform-selective HDACi and thus targeted inactivation of HDAC isoforms might also overcome the adverse effects of current clinically approved pan-HDACi. This review provides a brief overview about the fundamental function of HDACs as epigenetic regulators, highlights the roles of HDACs beyond chromatin-mediated control of gene expression and summarizes the studies showing the impact of HDAC inhibitors and genetic deficiencies of HDAC members for the outcome of autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases with a focus on rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) as an animal model of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
The photosynthetic machinery of plants can acclimate to changes in light conditions by balancing light-harvesting between the two photosystems (PS). This acclimation response is induced by the change in the redox state of the plastoquinone pool, which triggers state transitions through activation of the STN7 kinase and subsequent phosphorylation of light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) proteins. Phosphorylation of LHCII results in its association with PSI (state 2), whereas dephosphorylation restores energy allocation to PSII (state 1). In addition to state transition regulation by phosphorylation, we have recently discovered that plants lacking the chloroplast acetyltransferase NSI are also locked in state 1, even though they possess normal LHCII phosphorylation. This defect may result from decreased lysine acetylation of several chloroplast proteins. Here, we compared the composition of wild type (wt), stn7 and nsi thylakoid protein complexes involved in state transitions separated by Blue Native gel electrophoresis. Protein complex composition and relative protein abundances were determined by LC-MS/MS analyses using iBAQ quantification. We show that despite obvious mechanistic differences leading to defects in state transitions, no major differences were detected in the composition of PSI and LHCII between the mutants. Moreover, both stn7 and nsi plants show retarded growth and decreased PSII capacity under fluctuating light as compared to wt, while the induction of non-photochemical quenching under fluctuating light was much lower in both nsi mutants than in stn7.

Abstract
Tumor suppressor protein p53 protects cells against malignant transformation mostly through transcriptional activation. Lysine acetylation is required to mediate activation of p53. The protein displays eight lysine residues and their evolutionary conservation argues for an essential role. The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of individual acetylation sites in mediating p53 functions. Differences in intracellular localization, protein expression levels, and transcriptional activity were investigated by overexpressing acetylation-deficient p53 variants in the colon carcinoma-derived p53 knock-out cell line HCT 116 p53(-/-). We found that not all lysine residues are equally capable of promoting p53's functions. Individual amino acid mutations or combinations thereof led to altered p53 expression levels, intracellular distribution, or transcriptional transactivation capacity, as compared to the wild-type protein. However, we observed that the choice of protein tag and expression vector could significantly alter obtained results on certain aspects of p53 function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE(S) Growing evidence supports that isothiocyanates exert a wide range of bioactivities amongst of which is their capacity to interact with the epigenetic machinery in various cancers including melanoma. Our aim was to characterise the effect of sulforaphane and iberin on histone acetylation and methylation as a potential anti-melanoma strategy. METHODS We have utilised an in vitro model of malignant melanoma [consisting of human (A375, Hs294T, VMM1) and murine (B16F-10) melanoma cell lines as well as a non-melanoma (A431) and a non-tumorigenic immortalised keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell line] exposed to sulforaphane or iberin. Cell viability was evaluated by the Alamar blue assay whilst total histone deacetylases and acetyltransferases activities were determined by the Epigenase HDAC Activity/Inhibition and EpiQuik HAT Activity/Inhibition assay kits, respectively. The expression levels of specific histone deacetylases and acetyltransferases together with those of lysine acetylation and methylation marks were obtained by western immunoblotting. RESULTS Overall, both sulforaphane and iberin were able to (1) reduce cell viability, (2) decrease total histone deacetylase activity and (3) modulate the expression levels of various histone deacetylases as well as acetyl and methyl transferases thus modulating the acetylation and methylation status of specific lysine residues on histones 3 and 4 in malignant melanoma cells. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlight novel insights as to how sulforaphane and iberin differentially regulate the epigenetic response in ways compatible with their anticancer action in malignant melanoma.

Abstract
In recent years, the intensification of the use of immunosuppressive therapies has increased the incidence of invasive infections caused by opportunistic fungi. Considering that, the spread of azole resistance and amphotericin B (AmB) inefficiency against some clinical and environmental isolates has been described. Thus, to avoid a global problem when controlling fungal infections and critical failures in medicine, and food security, new approaches for drug target identification and for the development of new treatments that are more effective against pathogenic fungi are desired. Recent studies indicate that protein acetylation is present in hundreds of proteins of different cellular compartments and is involved in several biological processes, i.e., metabolism, translation, gene expression regulation, and oxidative stress response, from prokaryotes and eukaryotes, including fungi, demonstrating that lysine acetylation plays an important role in essential mechanisms. Lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (KDACs), the two enzyme families responsible for regulating protein acetylation levels, have been explored as drug targets for the treatment of several human diseases and infections. Aspergilli have on average 8 KAT genes and 11 KDAC genes in their genomes. This review aims to summarize the available knowledge about Aspergillus spp. azole resistance mechanisms and the role of lysine acetylation in the control of biological processes in fungi. We also want to discuss the lysine acetylation as a potential target for fungal infection treatment and drug target discovery.

Abstract
Acetylation of lysine side chains at their ε-amino group is a reversible posttranslational modification (PTM), which can affect diverse protein functions. Lysine acetylation was first described on histones, and nowadays gains more and more attention due to its more general occurrence in proteomes, and its possible crosstalk with other protein modifications. Here we describe a workflow to investigate the acetylation of lysine-containing peptides on a large scale. For this high-resolution lysine acetylome analysis, dimethyl-labeled peptide samples are pooled and offline-fractionated using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC). The offline fractionation is followed by an immunoprecipitation and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for data acquisition and subsequent data analysis.

Abstract
Background Fusarium graminearum is a destructive fungal pathogen of wheat, barley and other small grain cereals. During plant infection, the pathogen produces trichothecene mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON), which is harmful to human and livestock. FgGCN5 encodes a GCN5 acetyltransferase. The gene deletion mutant Fggcn5 failed to produce DON. We assumed that lysine acetylation might play a key regulatory role in DON biosynthesis in the fungus. Results In this study, the acetylome comparison between Fggcn5 mutant and wild-type strain PH-1 was performed by using affinity enrichment and high resolution LC-MS/MS analysis. Totally, 1875 acetylated proteins were identified in Fggcn5 mutant and PH-1. Among them, 224 and 267 acetylated proteins were identified exclusively in Fggcn5 mutant and PH-1, respectively. Moreover, 95 differentially acetylated proteins were detected at a significantly different level in the gene deletion mutant:43 were up-regulated and 52 were down-regulated. GO enrichment and KEGG-pathways enrichment analyses revealed that acetylation plays a key role in metabolism process in F. graminearum. Conclusions Seeing that the gens playing critical roles in DON biosynthesis either in Fggcn5 mutant or PH-1. Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that the regulatory roles of lysine acetylation in DON biosynthesis in F. graminearum results from the positive and negative regulation of the related genes. The study would be a foundation to insight into the regulatory mechanism of lysine acetylation on DON biosynthesis.

Abstract
Lead (Pb), a widespread heavy metal, may induce serious diseases, particularly male reproductive injury. However, the mechanisms by which Pb induces testicular injury remain unclear. In this paper, we established a mouse model of Pb-induced testicular injury via an intraperitoneal injection of lead chloride at a concentration of 1.5 mg/kg body weight. We confirmed that Pb could induce a series of injuries, including a low litter size, smaller testes, more weak offspring, direct injury, and aberrant spermiogenesis. Our study demonstrated that Pb could inhibit lysine acetylation (Kac) and succinylation (Ksuc) via western blot (WB) and immunofluorescence (IF) analyses. We subsequently separated different germ cells that contained Pre-meiotic spermatogonia (SPG), meiotic spermatocyte (SPC), and round spermatid (RS) into the Pb-treated and control groups and verified that Pb inhibited Kac in SPC, RS, and particularly, during meiosis. Furthermore, our results regarding the inhibition of pyruvate kinase and mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I and II in the Pb-treated groups suggested that Pb may restrain key enzymes to block the TCA cycle and that the low TCA cycle activity could reduce the contents of two important metabolites, acetyl-CoA and succinyl-CoA, to inhibit Kac and Ksuc. Moreover, we examined the influences of the inhibition of Kac and Ksuc on spermiogenesis, which indicated that decreased Kac and Ksuc could impede the replacement of transition proteins in elongating sperm and disorder the distribution of germ cells in the seminiferous tubule. Our research provides novel insights into the mechanisms of Pb reproductive toxicity with respect to lysine acetylation and succinylation.

Abstract
Mitochondria have a central role in cellular metabolism and reversible post-translational modifications regulate activity of mitochondrial proteins. Thanks to advances in proteomics, lysine acetylation has arisen as an important post-translational modification in the mitochondrion. During acetylation an acetyl group is covalently attached to the epsilon amino group in the side chain of lysine residues using acetyl-CoA as the substrate donor. Therefore the positive charge is neutralized, and this can affect the function of proteins thereby regulating enzyme activity, protein interactions, and protein stability. The major deacetylase in mitochondria is SIRT3 whose activity regulates many mitochondrial enzymes. The method of choice for the analysis of acetylated proteins foresees the combination of mass spectrometry-based proteomics with affinity enrichment techniques. Beyond the identification of lysine-acetylated proteins, many studies are moving towards the characterization of acetylated patterns in different diseases. Indeed, modifications in lysine acetylation status can directly alter mitochondrial function and, therefore, be linked to human diseases such as metabolic diseases, cancer, myocardial injury and neurodegenerative diseases. Despite the progress in the characterization of different lysine acetylation sites, additional studies are needed to differentiate the specific changes with a significant biological relevance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacteria that is widely employed in many industries for the production of high interest bio-products such as recombinant proteins. Nevertheless, the use of E. coli for recombinant protein production may entail some disadvantages such as acetate overflow. Acetate is accumulated under some culture conditions, involves a decrease in biomass and recombinant protein production, and its metabolism is related to protein lysine acetylation. Thereby, the carbon and nitrogen sources employed are relevant factors in cell host metabolism, and the study of the central metabolism of E. coli and its regulation is essential for optimizing the production of biomass and recombinant proteins. In this study, our aim was to find the most favourable conditions for carrying out recombinant protein production in E. coli BL21 using two different approaches, namely, manipulation of the culture media composition and the deletion of genes involved in acetate metabolism and Nε-lysine acetylation. RESULTS We evaluated protein overexpression in E. coli BL21 wt and five mutant strains involved in acetate metabolism (Δacs, ΔackA and Δpta) and lysine acetylation (ΔpatZ and ΔcobB) grown in minimal medium M9 (inorganic ammonium nitrogen source) and in complex TB7 medium (peptide-based nitrogen source) supplemented with glucose (PTS carbon source) or glycerol (non-PTS carbon source). We observed a dependence of recombinant protein production on acetate metabolism and the carbon and nitrogen source employed. The use of complex medium supplemented with glycerol as a carbon source entails an increase in protein production and an efficient use of resources, since is a sub-product of biodiesel synthesis. Furthermore, the deletion of the ackA gene results in a fivefold increase in protein production with respect to the wt strain and a reduction in acetate accumulation. CONCLUSION The results showed that the use of diverse carbon and nitrogen sources and acetate metabolism knockout strains can redirect E. coli carbon fluxes to different pathways and affect the final yield of the recombinant protein bioprocess. Thereby, we obtained a fivefold increase in protein production and an efficient use of the resources employing the most suitable strain and culture conditions.

Abstract
Protein lysine acetylation is a major post-translational modification and plays a critical regulatory role in almost every aspect in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, yet there have been no data on Shewanella baltica, which is one of the specific spoilage organism (SSO) of aquatic products. Here, we performed the first global acetylproteome analysis of S. baltica. 2929 lysine acetylation sites were identified in 1103 proteins, accounting for 26.1% of the total proteins which participate in a wide variety of biological processes, especially in the constituent of ribosome, the biosynthesis of aminoacyl-tRNA, the amino acids and fatty acid metabolism. Besides, 14 conserved acetylation motifs were detected in S. baltica. Notably, various directly or indirectly spoilage-related proteins were prevalently acetylated, including enzymes involved in the unsaturated fatty acids biosynthesis closely related to the cold adaptability, cold shock proteins, pivotal enzymes involved in the putrescine biosynthesis, and a LuxR-type protein in quorum sensing system. The acetylome analysis in Shewanella can supplement the database and provide new insight into uncovering the spoilage mechanisms of S. baltica. The provided dataset illuminates the potential role of reversible acetylation in S. baltica, and serves as an important resource for exploring the physiological role of lysine acetylation in prokaryotes. SIGNIFICANCE: The psychrotrophic nature and the ability of S. baltica to make good use of "habitat" nutrients explain its importance in spoilage of seafood stored at low temperatures. However, the underlying mechanism of spoilage potential from the perspective of protein post-translational modification was rarely studied. This work identifies the first comprehensive survey of a lysine acetylome in S. baltica and uncovers the involvement of lysine acetylation in the diverse biological processes, especially in the closely spoilage-related pathways. This study provides a resource for functional analysis of acetylated proteins and creates opportunities for in-depth elucidation of the physiological role of protein acetylation in Shewanella spp.

Abstract
Background Cardiac glycosides are approved for the treatment of heart failure as Na+/K+ pump inhibitors. Their repurposing in oncology is currently investigated in preclinical and clinical studies. However, the identification of a specific cancer type defined by a molecular signature to design targeted clinical trials with cardiac glycosides remains to be characterized. Here, we demonstrate that cardiac glycoside proscillaridin A specifically targets MYC overexpressing leukemia cells and leukemia stem cells by causing MYC degradation, epigenetic reprogramming and leukemia differentiation through loss of lysine acetylation. Methods Proscillaridin A anticancer activity was investigated against a panel of human leukemia and solid tumor cell lines with different MYC expression levels, overexpression in vitro systems and leukemia stem cells. RNA-sequencing and differentiation studies were used to characterize transcriptional and phenotypic changes. Drug-induced epigenetic changes were studied by chromatin post-translational modification analysis, expression of chromatin regulators, chromatin immunoprecipitation, and mass-spectrometry. Results At a clinically relevant dose, proscillaridin A rapidly altered MYC protein half-life causing MYC degradation and growth inhibition. Transcriptomic profile of leukemic cells after treatment showed a downregulation of genes involved in MYC pathways, cell replication and an upregulation of hematopoietic differentiation genes. Functional studies confirmed cell cycle inhibition and the onset of leukemia differentiation even after drug removal. Proscillaridin A induced a significant loss of lysine acetylation in histone H3 (at lysine 9, 14, 18 and 27) and in non-histone proteins such as MYC itself, MYC target proteins, and a series of histone acetylation regulators. Global loss of acetylation correlated with the rapid downregulation of histone acetyltransferases. Importantly, proscillaridin A demonstrated anticancer activity against lymphoid and myeloid stem cell populations characterized by MYC overexpression. Conclusion Overall, these results strongly support the repurposing of proscillaridin A in MYC overexpressing leukemia.

Abstract
The signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) protein is activated by phosphorylation of a specific tyrosine residue (Tyr705) in response to various extracellular signals. STAT3 activity was also found to be regulated by acetylation of Lys685. However, the molecular mechanism by which Lys685 acetylation affects the transcriptional activity of STAT3 remains elusive. By genetically encoding the co-translational incorporation of acetyl-lysine into position Lys685 and co-expression of STAT3 with the Elk receptor tyrosine kinase, we were able to characterize site-specifically acetylated, and simultaneously acetylated and phosphorylated STAT3. We measured the effect of acetylation on the crystal structure, and DNA binding affinity and specificity of Tyr705-phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated STAT3. In addition, we monitored the deacetylation of acetylated Lys685 by reconstituting the mammalian enzymatic deacetylation reaction in live bacteria. Surprisingly, we found that acetylation, per se, had no effect on the crystal structure, and DNA binding affinity or specificity of STAT3, implying that the previously observed acetylation-dependent transcriptional activity of STAT3 involves an additional cellular component. In addition, we discovered that Tyr705-phosphorylation protects Lys685 from deacetylation in bacteria, providing a new possible explanation for the observed correlation between STAT3 activity and Lys685 acetylation.

Abstract
Protein lysine acetylation is a highly conserved posttranslational modification that plays key roles in many biological processes such as the regulation of gene expression, chromatin dynamics, and metabolic pathways. Recent studies revealed that various pathogens use lysine acetylation to interfere with host immune responses. Identification of lysine-acetylated host proteins resulting from virulence activities of pathogen effectors is therefore essential for understanding their biological functions. Here we provide a method for immunoprecipitating lysine-acetylated proteins transiently expressed in planta under non-denaturing or denaturing conditions and detecting them by immunoblotting. To illustrate this rapid and simple procedure, immunoprecipitation of the lysine-acetylated WRKY domain of the RRS1-R immune receptor, a substrate of the Ralstonia solanacearum PopP2 effector, is presented as a typical example.

Abstract
SOX9 is a key transcription factor during cell differentiation, sex determination, and tumorigenesis. However, the detailed mechanisms of its targeting strategy remain elusive. To investigate possibilities of targeting SOX9 with epigenetic drugs and the precise underlying mechanisms, two human cancer cell lines were chosen as model systems, which showed high SOX9 expression and anti-tumorigenic effects upon loss of SOX9. Histone acetylation-related screening of a small panel of epigenetic drugs revealed that the bromodomain reader inhibitor JQ1 dramatically downregulated SOX9 through multiple regulation steps, namely, transcription, BRD4-SOX9 protein-protein interaction, and further protein stability. These findings suggest that BRD4 inhibition is a novel therapeutic strategy for diseases characterized by SOX9 overexpression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The superfamily of adenylating enzymes is a large family of enzymes broadly distributed from bacteria to humans. Acetyl-CoA synthetase (Acs), member of this family, is a metabolic enzyme with an essential role in Escherichia coli (E. coli) acetate metabolism, whose catalytic activity is regulated by acetylation/deacetylation in vivo. METHODS In this study, the kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of deacetylated and acetylated E. coli Acs were studied for the adenylating step. Moreover, the role of the T264, K270, D500 and K609 residues in catalysis and ATP-binding was also determined by Isothermal titration calorimetry. RESULTS The results showed that native Acs enzyme binds ATP in an endothermic way. The dissociation constant has been determined and ATP-binding showed no significant differences between acetylated and deacetylated enzyme, although kcat was much higher for the deacetylated enzyme. However, K609 lysine mutation resulted in an increase in ATP-Acs-affinity and in a total loss of enzymatic activity, while T264 and D500 mutant proteins showed a total loss of ATP-binding ability and a decrease in catalytic activity. K609 site-specified acetylation induced a change in Acs conformation which resulted in an exothermic and more energetic ATP-binding. CONCLUSIONS The differences in ATP-binding could explain the broadly conserved inactivation of Acs when K609 is acetylated. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The results presented in this study demonstrate the importance of the selected residues in Acs ATP-binding and represent an advance in our understanding of the adenylation step of the superfamily of adenylating enzymes and of their acetylation/deacetylation regulation.

Abstract
Background Lysine acetylation in protein is one of the most important post-translational modifications (PTMs). It plays an important role in essential biological processes and is related to various diseases. To obtain a comprehensive understanding of regulatory mechanism of lysine acetylation, the key is to identify lysine acetylation sites. Previously, several shallow machine learning algorithms had been applied to predict lysine modification sites in proteins. However, shallow machine learning has some disadvantages. For instance, it is not as effective as deep learning for processing big data. Results In this work, a novel predictor named DeepAcet was developed to predict acetylation sites. Six encoding schemes were adopted, including a one-hot, BLOSUM62 matrix, a composition of K-space amino acid pairs, information gain, physicochemical properties, and a position specific scoring matrix to represent the modified residues. A multilayer perceptron (MLP) was utilized to construct a model to predict lysine acetylation sites in proteins with many different features. We also integrated all features and implemented the feature selection method to select a feature set that contained 2199 features. As a result, the best prediction achieved 84.95% accuracy, 83.45% specificity, 86.44% sensitivity, 0.8540 AUC, and 0.6993 MCC in a 10-fold cross-validation. For an independent test set, the prediction achieved 84.87% accuracy, 83.46% specificity, 86.28% sensitivity, 0.8407 AUC, and 0.6977 MCC. Conclusion The predictive performance of our DeepAcet is better than that of other existing methods. DeepAcet can be freely downloaded from https://github.com/Sunmile/DeepAcet.

Abstract
The mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) relays cytosolic Ca2+ transients to the mitochondria. We examined whether energy metabolism was compromised in hearts from mice with a cardiac-specific deficiency of MCU subjected to an isoproterenol (ISO) challenge. Surprisingly, isolated working hearts from cardiac MCU-deficient mice showed higher cardiac work, both in the presence or absence of ISO. These hearts were not energy-starved, with ISO inducing a similar increase in glucose oxidation rates compared to control hearts, but a greater increase in fatty acid oxidation rates. This correlated with lower levels of the fatty acid oxidation inhibitor malonyl CoA, and to an increased stimulatory acetylation of its degrading enzyme malonyl CoA decarboxylase and of the fatty acid β-oxidation enzyme β-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase. We conclude that impaired mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake does not compromise cardiac energetics due to a compensatory stimulation of fatty acid oxidation that provides a higher energy reserve during acute adrenergic stress.
